Review: Sikandar Ka Muqaddar movie 2024, directed by Neeraj Pandey, has received a mixed response from critics. This heist thriller, starring Avinash Tiwary, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Jimmy Shergill, revolves around a diamond robbery worth crores. Officer Jaswinder Singh (Shergill), tasked with solving the crime, suspects Sikandar (Tiwary) and his companions Kamini (Bhatia) and Mangesh (Rajiv Mehta). The tension rises as Singh’s aggressive investigation leads to complex consequences for all involved.
The film begins with a solid premise but falters due to its over-extended runtime and a lackluster conclusion. The final act feels rushed and stretches the story beyond its logical limits. Many viewers found the film’s pace too slow, and the conclusion failed to live up to the suspense built throughout. Flashbacks and melodrama further distract from the core plot, resulting in a less-than-satisfying experience for fans of Pandey’s earlier thrillers.
Performances are one of the stronger aspects of the movie. Shergill, known for his versatile roles, shines as the conflicted cop, and Tiwary’s portrayal of Sikandar, especially in his emotionally charged scenes, is impressive. However, the chemistry between Tiwary and Bhatia feels forced at times, which detracts from the film’s emotional core.
Despite a promising script, the film struggles with implausible plot points and weak motivations behind the heist. This lack of depth weakens the overall impact of the movie. While Sikandar Ka Muqaddar may be a watchable one-time experience for those who enjoy Pandey’s direction, it does not reach the heights of his earlier works like Special 26 or Baby.
